Pretty sure there will likely be an unused plug under the dash somewhere that has power only when running (check with test light) and a ground (normally black) or you can ground to frame. Just need to dig in and find it. Someone with a similar sled onhere might chime in. Or just trade it on a sled that comes with a visor cord plug standard.

Viperules700 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If you have a battery can put the red on positive and black to a ground. If no battery might be a left over circuit like plc mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackSleddin Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 ok so its safe to go direct to the battery no fuse... wont that be a constant drain on the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 ok so its safe to go direct to the battery no fuse... wont that be a constant drain on the battery? I wouldn't wire anything without a fuse!!! A 3 amp fuse should be sufficient for your shield and will protect your wire from becoming the fuse. Also, if you wire directly to the battery, the plug will always be live and exposure to moisture (snow) across the plug will lead to rapid corrosion of the plug. Ideally, you only want the plug live when the engine is running, but if you go direct to the battery, try to protect the plug from the weather when not in use.

BackSleddin Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 SLEDJUNK how can i do this so the plug is not always live. that tells me that it will be a constant drain.... anyways not happening! so where can i go to that will not be live power untill sled is running...even at an idle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand and thumb wires are wired there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought would be to connect to something that is only on with the engine running and the first thought that comes to mind is the headlight circuit. I would expect that this would be relatively safe and could certainly handle the minimal draw from the shield. You can get an inline fuse holder and attach it close to your source. Make sure that you dress the wires so that they are not dangling into any moving or hot parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If you go right to the battery an inline fuse as suggested is a must. To avoid being on all the time a small toggle or rocker switch can be added. Put it on the dash and the connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not take away all this guess work about where to hook your wiring in and install the BRP Heated Visor Kit. Any BRP accessories I've installed have been easy. The instructions are always very easy to follow. The kit if you look on BRP website says it comes with harness and plug in. BRP Part Number 860201234 (CAN $36.99) Welcome to the forum Backsleddin.

SuperG Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Like you I got the FXR modular helmet last year, I found that on my sled I actually had to go up to a 25 amp fuse as I started with a 5,10,15,20 and kept blowing them all until I got to 25. Not saying that is going to be the case for you but just from my experience from last year, just so you are aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
